downloaded installed correctly. But suddenly it started showing problem. No
application is installing and dialogue box comes saying check your internet
connection and firewall settings. My internet connection is working good and to
check firewall settings i disabled it but still no programs or applications are
installing. Also updates of some programs are not working. (I am using eset

It seems like you are encountering issues with installing applications on your Windows 7 64-bit system despite having a stable internet connection and trying to disable your firewall. Let's address this step by step:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. System File Checker (SFC) Scan: Perform a System File Checker scan to check for and repair corrupted system files that might be causing installation issues. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command:

    sfc /scannow

2. Check Windows Update: Ensure that your Windows Update is working correctly to allow for necessary updates that might resolve installation issues.
3. Check ESET Security Settings: Review ESET security settings to ensure that it is not blocking the installation of programs. Sometimes security software can interfere with installations.
4. Compatibility Mode: Try installing applications in compatibility mode. Right-click on the installer, go to Properties, and navigate to the Compatibility tab. Enable compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.
5. Install Applications in Safe Mode: Boot your computer into Safe Mode and try installing applications from there. Safe Mode loads Windows with a limited set of drivers and services.
6. Reset Windows Update Components: Resetting Windows Update components can sometimes resolve update-related issues. You can do this by running a batch script that resets the necessary components.
7. Check for Malware: Run a full system scan with your ESET Security software to ensure that your system is not infected with any malware that could be causing the installation issues. Try these steps one by one and see if any of them resolve the problem you are facing with installing applications and updates on your Windows 7 system. If the issue persists, let me know for further assistance.
